Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1418
According to Wes, he had witnessed the murderer assaulting and capturing those from the Crawford Manor.
However, when looking at the time the text message had been sent over, Gerald realized that Lyra had sent it in
the afternoon. In other words, the time when his family should’ve by right been completely dealt with.
With that in mind, Lyra could’ve only sent that message by avoiding the initial capture! Maybe she could’ve
momentarily escaped. Or perhaps she was outside and hadn’t returned when the catastrophe happened.
Whatever the case was, Lyra must have only given Zack those instructions due to having a premonition that she
would soon be in danger.
‘What exactly happened…? And what’s that person’s motive…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he held on tightly onto
the token of the holy water.
Peter had told him that the one responsible for all this was a person who had been stalking him this entire time…
What was that person even after…?
Looking at Gerald’s puzzled expression, Zack asked in a worried tone, “Even the Crawford family’s main phone is no
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlonger reachable, Mr. Crawford… What on earth is happening…?”
“…For now, just do as Lyra instructed and transfer all the assets as soon as possible. Make sure to follow her orders
to a T. I’ll be dealing with the rest!” ordered Gerald.
Following that, Gerald instantly began focusing on the token of the holy water instead. Lyra had said that all the
clues he needed were inside this thing… What could she possibly have meant by that?
The token had belonged to his grandfather… Was she trying to tell him that his grandfather was in trouble? Was
that the reason for the downfall of his family?
Regardless, it seemed that the prophecy of the picture of the sun truly did come true… A force had appeared, and
it had destroyed the Crawfords… With that in mind, he could very well be next, couldn’t he?
Whatever the case was, even after looking at the token from all angles, he couldn’t seem to find any peculiarities
with it at all!
Unable to crack the mystery, Gerald eventually remembered that he still had to deal with the Mackusion tonight.
With that in mind, he decided that it would be best if he reunited with his second uncle first. Once they met, he’d
ask Peter for his opinion on all this.
His mind made up, he then began giving a few more instructions to Zack.
As it turned out, Layla, his former classmate, hadn’t made smooth development in society after her graduation.
She probably chose to work here as a waitress after realizing that Wayfair Mountain Entertainment’s salary was
above average, at least for a waitress. With that in mind, Gerald made sure to tell Zack to take special care of her
before finally leaving the villa.
It wasn’t long after before Gerald reunited with Zyla and Peter.
After hearing Gerald’s explanation on the final clue Lyra had left them, Peter thought for a while before saying, “…
The token of the holy water… If Lyra emphasized so much that it was of great importance, I’m sure she knows
some things that we don’t… While there’s a chance that she’s still in hiding now, we really aren’t able to tell if she’s
still in any danger! In the end, everything should only come to light once we find Lyra! Whatever the case is, you’ll
have to hurry and focus on restoring your Dehlere Foundation! The earlier you recover it, the sooner we’ll be able
to act!”
“I understand, Second Uncle!”
“Excellent. Since you’re already back, you should go ahead and help Miss Lockland refine the Mackusion! While you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmundergo the process of restoring your Dehlere Foundation, I’ll be searching for clues within the token of the holy
water,” instructed Peter.
“Will do, Second uncle!”
“Actually, hold on a second!” called out Peter, sounding slightly uncertain as he held the token of the holy water in
hand.
“Yes?”
Unsure how he should even proceed with posing his question, Peter simply asked, “Should your grandpa still be
alive… What do you plan on doing?”
“…I mean… I’d be overjoyed, of course! As for what I’d do, I’d try to locate him as soon as possible! Should I
succeed in finding him, you, grandpa, and I will be able to save the Crawford family together! With any luck, we’ll
finally reunite the family!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
“…I don’t think you’re getting my point, Gerald… I mean, if everyone who participated in the pledge of the holy
water is dead, haven’t you considered why your grandfather—if he’s still among the living—didn’t die…?” asked
Peter after a brief moment.
“…What exactly do you mean by that, Second uncle…?” asked Gerald, puzzled.
